This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

In January 2025 I purchased a renewed or refurbished surface pro 4 from Amazon.
I used it only intermittently for quite some time. Then when I started to use it more, I found I had Flickergate, I tried all the recommendations, nothing helped. As I am out of warranty now I have no recourse.
I have now discovered I am a victim of flickergate, a well known design fault.
I am very dismayed and somewhat disgusted that these very same refurbished Surfaces are still being sold on Amazon. Do Bezos and Gates need the money so bad they would be complicit in this scam,
disgusted in Canada

Desired outcome: Stop this scam PLEASE
